Gary Coleman hospitalized after fall

Former child star Gary Coleman has been hospitalised in Utah after injuring his head in a fall.

The former “Diff’rent Strokes” actor, 42, was admitted to a medical facility on Wednesday and underwent surgery after an accident at home.

Coleman’s brother-in-law has confirmed to TMZ.com that the star is recovering from the operation in the hospital’s intensive care unit.

Further details were unavailable as WENN went to press and the star’s agent, Robert Malcolm, had yet to respond to requests for a comment.

Coleman, who suffers from a congenital kidney disease that requires frequent dialysis, has faced a string of health problems in recent months. He was hospitalized in January and again in February after suffering apparent seizures.
